报告内容：

News highlights is succinct single-document summary for readers to quickly access the gist of a news article. Traditional automatic extractive approaches suffer from two problems: (1) They rely on linguistic and/or statistic features but these features are ineffective to locate highlights sentences. (2) Sentences extracted as highlights are verbose in general. We explore to use microblogs related to target news article to tackle the aforementioned problems for generating better news highlights.
